Journal overview

Eastern African Literary & Cultural Studies

( EALCS) is a pioneering international peer-reviewed journal which offers a distinctive, integrated forum for scholarship on the literature, culture and arts of the Eastern Africa region and their widespread influence. Arts and culture have played an instrumental role in the post-colonial project, and indeed in the forging of twenty-first century identities and realities, where they have actively engaged with ideas from other fields including economics, politics, history, and religion. This dynamic interface is explored in the journal. Exceptional creative work from and about the region is also considered for publication.

The journal invites submissions of research articles, review essays, roundtable debates, interviews, creative work, book reviews and conference alerts.

Manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double anonymized and detailed Instructions for Authors can be found here.

Authors can choose to publish gold open access in this journal.
